AUTUMN FAVORITES.

Oh Autumn, you are teasing me with your cool mornings lately. I am just waiting for the time I'll be able to wear flannel all day without getting too warm. I know that day is on the way...I can feel it. Also, sorry I'm not sorry for all the autumn-themed posts that are bound to be happening on here over the next couple of months. I'm pretty passionate about it. ;)

And now it's time for autumn favorites and a chance for you to get to know some random things about me. Aren't you excited??

FAVORITE FALL FASHION/CLOTHING ITEM?
Flannel for all the days. I could wear cozy flannels for the rest of my life. Also, scarves. I have far too many scarves, but who doesn't love them? It's like living in a constant hug all day. Oh and moccasins. They are my favorite shoes for the autumn season. Oh gosh, now that I'm thinking about it, I love it all!

FAVORITE FALL DRINK?
Unlike the rest of the world, I don't care for pumpkin spice lattes. I'm more of a caramel latte kind of girl. Yummmm.

SOMETHING ON YOUR FALL BUCKET LIST?
Oh man! I'm coming up with a fall bucket list, so more on that later. One item on the list? Pumpkin decorating. Duh!

FAVORITE FALL RECIPE?
We always make delicious pumpkin and cream cheese muffins during the autumn months. My mouth watered just thinking about them. I can't wait!

FAVORITE FALL SCENT?
I LOVE the smell of fall itself. You know, that smell of the outdoors when it's crisp out with a nice breeze that is gently pulling the golden leaves from their branches? That is my favorite smell. Oh, and bonfires. And pumpkin muffins baking in the oven.

WHAT IS FALL (WEATHER) LIKE WHERE YOU LIVE?Glorious. Just glorious. The humidity starts to fade. The days are the perfect temperature for wrapping up in cozy layers. It's still in the upper 70s to low 80s during the day right now, but it is cooling off slowly but surely. The leaves don't fully change colors until later in October, but we'll get a little preview of color here and there. (P.S. these photos are from last year. The leaves had a stunning year last fall. I'm hoping for a repeat!"

i want to wear flannel at all times.seriously - all times.also i think i counted last fall and i had like 25 scarves...my gosh. and i just bought more. -__-i remember our dislike for PSL when we chatted at starbucks (AHH i can't believe that happened!)i need to come up there for fall. just drive up, roll the windows down, andl et all the beautiful leaves fly into my car to take home ;) hahaha

I just love fall scents! A couple weeks ago I bought the pumpkin apple candle at bath and body works and it is just PERFECT! I've been burning it every single day since buying it! I don't really like pumpkin spice lattes either, but that's because I don't like coffee. I do love anything pumpkin! I've already made pumpkin ginger waffles, pumpkin quesadillas, pumpkin pie, and pumpkin bundt cake. And that was just from one week! I go crazy with baking in the fall and winter.
